[color=red]pictured: Don Maynard[/color]After the Jets picked a majority of white players in the 2006 NFL Draft, it appeared that new coach Eric Mangini was taking the team away from the coal black complexion it’s had for a number of years now. Alas, such was not to be the case as the 2007 Jets are the blackest edition ever. How bad is it? Try 2 white starters and but 13 white players on the roster, and four of them are backup tight ends. There will be no diversity in a city that supposedly celebrates it.QB Chad Pennington is brainy and accurate and has what it takes to win games, but is constantly ridiculed for his lack of arm strength — “noodle-armed” seems to be the latest pejorative in vogue. Much better to hand the reins over to a “cannon-armed” prospect of a much darker hue who can rarely hit the side of a barn.Actually, Pennington’s backup is white, for now at least. Kellen Clemens, in his second year out of Oregon, will get his chance to play some as Pennington was injured in the ’07 regular season opener. Good luck Kellen, you’ll need it. And if you get injured in front of the home “fans,” expect the classless white drunks to cheer just like they did when Pennington was hurt.Second year high draft pick Nick Mangold is the starting center. Rookie backup Jacob Bender is the only other white o-lineman.The Jets have five white tight ends, one of which doubles as the long snapper. The starter is black, the backups white — Sean Ryan, Joe Kowalewski, Jason Pociask, and long snapper James Dearth.It’s even bleaker on defense, with no white starters and just four white backups. Second year safety Eric Smith out of Michigan State was reported during training camp to have earned a starting job, but not surprisingly that turned out not to be the case.Brad Kassell and Cody Spencer are both linebackers and both from North Texas. Mike Devito is a rookie end out of Maine. Have fun Jets fans rooting for this crappy team.NUMBER OF WHITE STARTERS: 2APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF WHITE PLAYERS ON 53 MAN ROSTER: 13GRADE: F-
